Nova Loman sails a coastal passage in light, variable conditions, departing just after 0800 and motoring the following morning to Kalmar, Sweden.0:21 The first day's highlight is a moose spotted at the water's edge, which follows alongside the boat briefly.0:55 Wind is scarce — 1.2 knots early, building to 3.2 and briefly 6 knots — so Nova sails main-only at first, adds the headsail when wind fills, then drops it to avoid a rain squall, arriving at a narrow harbour in 4.7 knots just as a rain cloud hits.3:39 The tight entrance requires a single-shot approach; the boat turns poorly and the harbour is shallow, adding pressure.12:37 Shore power is the primary reason to make port: the electric motor batteries are nearly depleted, and Nova needs to confirm the dockside electrical box supplies at least 10 amps — older Scandinavian harbours often provide only 6.10:26 The second morning she motors roughly 20 miles down a straight, navigating channel markers through shoals before a brief sail window opens and then closes.14:17 She arrives in Kalmar, pays harbour fees, completes provisioning across three stores, and charges the batteries.17:20 A cat named Neno accompanies the passage throughout.4:15
